Reese Nichols Announces GOP Bid For Owen County Council At-Large

Reese Nichols is seeking the Republican nomination for Owen County Council at-large in the upcoming primary election.

“My wife and I met at Purdue University over 50 years ago and, although I am not a ‘Sweet’ Owen native, my three children and two grandchildren are fourth and fifth generation natives to the family farm in Jennings Township,” Nichols explained.

Upon graduating from Purdue, Nichols received his commission in the United States Army.

“Thanks to Uncle Sam, we toured the United States from Virginia to San Francisco to Virginia,” he said. “Then Augsburg, Germany and from there I took a little tour to Viet Nam where I got to celebrate a Chinese new year called ‘TET 1968.’ In May of 1968 I left the Army as a Captain and return to the United States to take over my family’s restaurant operation in Lake County, Indiana. In 1974 we moved back to my wife’s family farm in Jennings Township where we row cropped and raised hogs and cattle. At the same time I worked as a restaurant manager and owned and operated restaurants and shops at Indianapolis’ Union Station Festival marketplace during its heyday. In 2003 I started Reese Nichols Real Estate in Greencastle. At present I am semi-retired from business but active in the community.”

Reese Nichols Nichols currently serves as president of the Owen County Board of Zoning and Appeals, as a board member of the Owen County Public Library, as secretary of the Owen County Republican Central Committee, as a member of the Owen County Community Organizations Acting in Disaster (COAD) and as president of the Cunot Community Center. He is also active in the Cataract Lake Area Crime Watch, and serves as the Jennings Township Republican Precinct Committeeman.

“I am of vocal fiscal conservative and believe that we the people must take back our rights from all levels of government,” Nichols said. “Common sense often seems lost in our elected officials. I do not claim to have all the answers to our county’s problems, but I can claim that I have the experience in both business and people to bring common sense judgment back to our county decisions.”

He would appreciate your vote in the Tuesday, May 8th primary election.
